[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1271526, member: 14585"] [b]IF possible calving in a well ventilated barn and adding a fan or fans would be my first choice.[/b] Heat makes animals lethargic, so keep an eye out for calves that do not want to get up and nurse. Warm milk only makes them warmer. That adds more problems with inadequate colostrum intake. Weakened immune system from low colostrum intake combined with heat stress and they will be scouring within a few days, so be ready to follow up with electrolytes day 2 and day 3 as needed to head it off.
